About a year and a half back, I bought a new Dodge 2500 HD with Cummins diesel/6 speed, 4WD, 4 door, power everything, towing package, and all the other ect.'s....

My son bought one almost identical, except his is a gasser (hemi/auto)

6 months later, he got a company truck. ('05 Dodge 3500 diesel)

Then my wifes car got wiped out in a wreck. We bought Jasons truck from him for the Mrs. to drive.

Both trucks are loaded. Before that, I always bought the plainest, cheapest truck I could find.

I wouldn't trade backwards for love, nor money!

I average around 55,000 miles per year on my truck. I spend a LOT of time in it. WHY NOT HAVE A NICE ONE?

I use mine as a truck. It drags around a 25' gooseneck, with a usual load of about 10,000LBS. Nothing like having a COMFORTABLE ride that'll do what a truck should do.

We take trips in the winter. A couple of the grandkids usually go along. The bigger cab is nice to say the least. If I didn't have the 4 door cab, I'd need a car to go along with the truck. How would that be any cheaper?

All in all, I'm pleased. I don't expect EVERYONE to run out and buy a $45,000 "cowboy cadillac", but I plan on buying ANOTHER someday when this one is tired and ready to be put out to pasture.
